Hi! I’ve got an Airtable spreadsheet with multiple columns - it looks something like this:

Name|Price|Cuisine  
Santo|20|Mexican  
Bao|15|Taiwanese  
El Pastor|10|Mexican

I want to build an app which has a button for each cuisine, and when I press that button it shows me only those data entries that match the cuisine. So, for example, when I press ‘Mexican’ it should show me a list of Santo and El Pastor, but not Bao.

I’m really struggling with how to do this! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

the algorithm for solving such problems is as follows:

1. Get all entries from AirTable into the list
2. Create a loop from this list and use the “if then” block to filter out the necessary records.

Block example

Break line or new line (\n) does not work on Thunkable cross yet.  
I’m looking forward to it cos it’s really important for arranging texts.  
I hope it will be released on the next update.

You’re right. I showed an example of the filtering that I did for another project with \n. In Thunkable X, it can be obtained in several ways. If this symbol is not needed, then it must be removed from the blocks.

Hey well i figured out a way to do new lines just follow this

> I Finally After A Week Or So Trying To Figure Out How To Make A New Line In A Label I Figured It Out By Myself. I’m Having A Guess Someone Else Figured Out This By This Method But I Just Figured It Out Through Tons Of Trial And Error. And Today I’m Going To Share To Everyone The One Thing That Probably Many New Members To Thunkable Have Been Wondering How To Do And That Is Creating A New Line In A Label, Text Input. So What I Did Was Created A Tag / Entry In Firebase And Named It br Then Set …
